Short of that Draconian solution, Castro is doing what he can for the U.S. Negro. He hired Harlem's aging "Black Eagle," Colonel Hubert Fauntleroy Julian, to buy arms in Europe, and is currently giving Singer Marian Anderson the red-carpet treatment in Havana. Last year he invited Roy Campanella, Willie Mays, Joe Louis and Jackie Robinson to share his New Year's celebration in Havana...
...Julian ("Cannonball") Adderley is a jazzman with a nagging, but not unique, problem: the more successful he becomes, the less his original, far-out fans like him. One of his recent albums, The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco (Riverside), sold 50,000 copies-phenomenal for a jazz record-and climbed to the bestseller charts along with such towering competitors as Fireside Sing Along with Mitch. Last week Cannonball and his men were shouting it up at San Francisco's Jazz Workshop. "The rhythm," complained a beard to a ponytail, "doesn't hang together...
Scientific Humanist. Something of T. H. Huxley's prodigious reputation-Darwin himself confessed that his own intelligence was "infantile" beside Huxley's-comes through in Biographer Cyril Bibby's book. He is abetted in forewords by Huxley's two greatly talented grandsons : Sir Julian and Aldous Huxley. Ironically.

Without much help from pedestrian Author Bibby, who bears down too heavily on Huxley's role as an educational reformer, the book crackles with examples of Huxley's wit as his other careers...
...highly improbable combination of genes," in Grandson Julian's phrase, is needed to explain Huxley's many-faceted genius. His father, who died mad, was a poor schoolmaster at Great Ealing (a school attended by Thackeray, Cardinal Newman and W. S. Gilbert); Tom was a pupil there briefly, and hated it. As a "plebeian,"' which is what he proudly called himself, young Huxley could not hope for a university education in 19th century England, but a scholarship and a medical brother-in-law saved him from the obscurity of the uneducated. He graduated in medicine from London...
...slyly for the medicine cabinet to reacquaint himself. "Miss Betty Hyams, twice a day after meals,'' said the label on one bottle. "I was saved. Betty." The plot, however, is mostly concerned with another girl-healthy enough not to require a medicine cabinet-who comes to share Julian's rustic idyl for a while. When he finds her clasped by a lustful vegetarian, he takes to his bed for several days in disgust, but wakes up to find wild flowers thrusting up through the bleak earth of his gloom; there is money in the mail from...
